What can I say. I conducted an experiment with the gorgeous Aubusson Blue from Annie Sloan.
Taking an old, not very pretty, nursing chair in sore need of re-upholstery, I took my paint and I applied it directly to the draylon. Why not? I had nothing to lose.
Then I waited. I waited for it to disappear. I waited for it to soak in. I waited for it to float on top. But nothing happened. The paint stayed its lovely colour. The fabric didn't go crusty. It dried in 24 hours. It does need a second coat. But wowzers! I'm excited.
The conclusion?
I am entirely confident that ASCP would work wonderfully on all sorts of projects where fabric is in good nick, but just not very pretty.
Imagine it stenciled on a plain seat cover? Or used to create pattern with blocking? Or for block printing?
I feel a calico purchase coming on.
